Dear Sir or Madam;
I am seeking your interpretation regarding the marking requirements for specification 2P and 2Q
aerosol containers in CFR 49 section 178.33-9(2) and 178.33a-9(2). We are a manufacturer of these
containers.
The regulation states that the marking must show the name or symbol of the person making the mark.
I understand that current DOT policy does not provide for new applications for a manufacturer to
register a symbol, instead the use of an "M-number" is advised. My question pertains to the othe
rovision in the regulation, that the marking show the "name" of the person making the mark

this interpretation; or if we must use an M-number to mark our specification 2P and 2Q containers.
our company name "Bway" as an acceptable means of identification. Please advise if you agree with
like to discuss this further. I can be reached at (847) 288 7128.
Thank you kindly for your assistance. Please contact me directly at your convenience if you would

Mother tah
